My Complete Philippines, Laos, and Cambodia Spending Breakdown

In this blog post, you will see my complete Philippines, Laos, and Cambodia spending breakdown.

Travelling to Philippines for me wasn’t expensive because I stayed with my relatives. I really saved money on transportation and accommodation as a result. Because I went during Christmas and New Year, I also received a lot of “red envelopes” which Chinese people get from their older relatives during special occasions. I ended up getting $1000 USD from all my relatives combined which will help keep me going in this one year around the world trip.

Laos was an expensive country to visit. You can find that out if you read any blog articles online. I didn’t stay too long and would probably return one day in the very distant future. I do want to see the Plain of Jars.

Overall, I think my Cambodian spending is a little bit on the high side. This is probably because Cambodia was more expensive than I thought. Of course, I could have stayed somewhere cheaper in Phnom Penh and I could have eaten at cheaper places.

I also noticed many Cambodian businessmen approached me if I was interested in doing business with them. This is probably because Cambodia is currently an emerging market that is experiencing high growth.

I enjoyed my time visiting all three countries and look forward to returning to both the Philippines and Cambodia one day. Hopefully, you found my Philippines, Laos, and Cambodia spending breakdown to be helpful with your future travel planning.
